Seed Oil Extracter

An oil expeller is essentially a mechanical machine that squeezes raw materials under
high pressure to extract oil. Conventional oil expellers are less efficient and consume
significant amount of electricity.

Enter Mr. Kalpesh Gajjar. An incredible man who taught himself various complex
concepts solely based on experimenting and developing ideas, prototypes and products
on his own. Mr. Gajjar passed his SSC and had no further formal education. Yet, he has
gone on to invent The Swastik Oil Expeller machine. This energy efficient oil expeller
is noteworthy for following reasons:

    It is 3 times faster than other oil expellers
    It consumes two-third of the power consumed by other oil expellers
    It is only half the size of the conventional oil expeller

The machine provides oil millers the highest efficiency in a compact shape. The motor
transmits power to the crusher using a planetary gear system that provides high torque
and average speed thus increasing the efficiency and reducing transmission losses
by 200%.
The oil expeller is designed to be able to crush all kinds of dry oil seeds, including
cotton seeds. The machine is at least three times more efficient than any other oil
expeller existing in Indian and international markets. The length of the machine is
3055 mm, width 1045 mm and height 2145 mm. The machine has now been patented
in India and US.

For this innovation, Mr. Gajjar has received the Sarabhai award from Gujarat
Government. GIAN has mobilised a grant from TePP programme to improvise
his technology as well.
